today
i am off
to seattle...
i am so excited
to see
my family,
old pals
and
i get to see
ash
too.
she is moving
away from seattle
and this makes
me sad
because it
was a highlight
of my
trips
home to see her.
but now
i can visit her
in a new place.
as
lisa s
mentioned,
we did not just
work on my
visit to sf.
we went to 2
places
i have been
wanting to go to
since
i heard about them...
the famous
{and secret}
button store
and
the
heath factory.
2 things
for which
i have,
as amy put it,
an unnatural love.
. . . . .
i have
a button lady
here in dc
who is wonderful
and i love
getting buttons
and chatting
with her
but
this
was button mecca.
i was overwhelmed.
i bought
many buttons
(but not as many
as i wanted)
and
i fear that
i barely
scraped the surface
of what she had.
she was a lovely
old lady
and i loved
listening
to her chat
with lisa
as i looked through
the drawers....
i didn't know
that
there was
a heath factory store.
i learned about
heath
when grub
and i started dating.
he had some old
heath from his aunt
and i was quite
smitten with it.
i bought
just a few items
as presents
(so i can't show them)
but here's
some of
my bowl/button booty.
not as well
coordinated
as
lisa's buttons.
. . . . .
before i go,
here's one more
skirt
i finished
sewing tanks on...
this is my 2nd favorite
(but i have
a soft spot
for yellow).
i hope that you
all have
a wonderful
holiday...
i may occasionally post
if i can
but otherwise
i am back on the 30th.
happy
happy
holidays
to all of you.

Wow Gwen, what a great trip you had!
That skirt is smashing! I have been big into grey and yellow together, lately.
Those buttons are so neat! I can't wait to see what you use them for.
Take care, have fun in Seattle! I've never been there but my husband really wants to go (as do I) so someday I will get to see it!
So much has been going on!

BUTTONS! drool drool drool! have a wonderful christmas, sweet friend.
There's a fantastic little button shop in Melbourne that I think you'd just LOVE. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and holiday season. See you in 2008. xoxo lj
Oh gosh, the button store look massive (if we had a shop like that here, I think I could possibly spend all day there...) Love the beautiful tank skirt, have a wonderful Christmas break with friends and family.
